If you want to copy or move files in Windows Explorer you usually do the following. You select all the files and folders that you want to move or copy first. You then need to open the destination in Windows Explorer and to either drag and drop the selected files to the new location or to use keyboard shortcuts to do so. Both solutions are not comfortable which is why I do apply changes to the Windows Registry to make moving and copying files more comfortably.</p><p><span
id="more-20744"></span>All that needs to be done to add the copy to and move to entries to Windows Explorer is to add a new key to the Windows Registry. To start open the Windows Registry editor by pressing [Windows R], typing [regedit] and hitting [enter].</p><p><img

Files and folders can now be copied and moved by right-clicking the selected files and selecting one of options that have been added in the Registry. This will open a folder browser so that the target directory can be selected comfortable without having to open a second Windows Explorer window or moving away from the root folder the files are copied from.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2009/11/28/windows-explorer-add-copy-to-move-to/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>6</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Add Copy To entry to right-click menu</title><link>http://www.ghacks.net/2008/02/15/add-copy-to-entry-to-right-click-menu/</link> <comments>http://www.ghacks.net/2008/02/15/add-copy-to-entry-to-right-click-menu/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2008 10:08:10 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Martin Brinkmann</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Knowledge]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Operating Systems]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Windows]]></category> <category><![CDATA[copy to]]></category> <category><![CDATA[microsoft]]></category> <category><![CDATA[windows tips]]></category> <guid

The funny thing is that this Copy To function actually exists but is disabled by default. Not sure who had the glorious idea to disable it but it definitely does not make sense to me.</p><p>To enable a Copy To Folder option in the right-click menu when right-clicking a file or folder you have to add one key to the Registry.  Use Windows R to open the run dialog and enter regedit in there. Now navigate to the Registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \AllFilesystemObjects \shellex \ContextMenuHandlers. You will notice the Send To entry there. Right-click the ContextMenuHandlers entry and select New > Key from the list.</p><p>Name that key Copy To and click ok. Now double-click the default entry on the left pane and give it the value {C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}. Close the Registry editor afterwards and go back to Windows Explorer. Right-click a file or folder, the Copy To entry should appear. If you click that entry the following menu should appear:</p><p><span
